I'm a single mom with two boys who are both in little league. I love watching them play and rooting for them at their games. The only problem is I know absolutely nothing about baseball; that is except for what my boys tell me. It pulls the heart out of me to see them want to succeed so bad and not have any experience or advice to give them in the baseball feild. Before spending a good chunk of money for a baseball camp, I thought it might be a good idea to look around first. The D&D Baseball videos were fantastic! They explain everything in detail but very hands-on so you can actually see how to do it. Most important, it's not complicated or too wordy so even kids at the little league level can understand. The boys are ecstatic at how much they're learning and say that because they're learning from pro players, they're getting some insider tips that the other kids won't even know! Even I have learned a thing or two from sitting down and watching it with them. I'm definitely impressed, my kids have improved tremendously, and would recommend this video to anyone. It's also helped me feel like I'm doing my part to help my kids succeed at what they love.

A Happy Baseball Mom

These videos were excellent for my son who is in his second year of little league. The instructors are to the point and make it easy for an "amateur" like myself to understand the proper teaching techniques. I would say this is a must have for any parent who would like to help their child become a better baseball player.

The fielding tape was informative and well done. Some areas not covered were pitchers fielding and responsibilities. The tape on hitting was short and left some areas out. I was disapointed in the base running tape which was short and also left things out. Have not reviewed the tape on equipment yet.

A few weeks ago my son, John, started watching these tapes and now claims that he'll someday break Mark Maguire's record. If he can or not isn't really the point. These tapes seem to provide a tremendous amount of confidence for the younger audience. The teaching style is simple but emphasizes being aggressive and having fun at the same time. Any time a player can accomplish both of these qualities on the diamond he's sure to feel like a winner no matter what league he plays in. Also the equipment tape was a little different than anything I have seen simply because it deals with off the field areas. A brilliant idea! It just goes to show you there's no replacement for pro experience when it comes to baseball. Who else would have thought to include a tape that adresses everything from dealing with bad wheather conditions (vasaline behind the ears, plastic bags over socks, etc.) to cost effective tips for all ages.

Best regards! Anthony

By far the best investment ever made for us! At nine years old, my son needed confidence and direction. He got plenty of both from D&D Baseball's collection. It's alot more fun going to games when he's smacking the ball around. He went from hitting last in the line-up to third and leading his team in RBI's.
